Better Times, Better Days... Poem by Nestor David Armas

Better times, better days,

That's all I wanted,

All I desired,

I did not need more,

Did not need luxury,

Better times, better days,

This is what I wish for,

To have no worries,

No cares, no qualms,

To relax careless,

Better times, better days,

Will I ever see them?

Do they even exist?

Where to find them?

Why do I even question?

Better times, better days,

Is this just the stuff of dreams?

I wonder when I'll sleep,

That eternal sleep,

To never wake;

To see another sunrise,

Then will come better times, better days...
